Research/fun getaway

Chris and I drove to Evanston, Randolph, and Garden City this week to do research for a project he is working on for school. It was a nice little getaway, but I really was excited to see my kids when we got home!

We ate at the Legal Tender restaurant, connected to the Best Western in Evanston. Chris had the prime rib and said it was phenomenal. I had chicken and it was mediocre at best. The decor was awful. It looked like grandma threw up pink/mauve all over the place with fake garland and flowers everwhere. Then they had European looking artwork on the walls, and a city scape of New York.

The placemats said the resraurant was FBI themed, but all the dishes we names after early 20th century gangsters and criminals like Bonnie, Scarface, Al Capone, etc. I found myself looking more at the names of the dishes rather than the description, very distracting for me. All-in-all, we had a nice evening out.

These animals were in the lobby of the Best Western so Chris had to see them. He is like a little kid when it comes to wildlife.

On our way to Bear Lake we came across cattle being herded. At one point we were totally surrounded by stinky cows.

Once we got to Garden City, by Bear Lake, we were ready for lunch. We stopped here at the Bear Trapper, but the buffet was seafood. (Good for Chris, not so good for me. I HATE seafood!) And we really didn't want a buffet so we walked next door to a pizza place. I didn't get a photo, but I think it was called Bear Lake Pizza. Ha, ha! It was pretty good pizza, but I thought it was a bit pricy! Nice decor and really nice people!

On our way home we drove up some of the mountain trails. May/June begins our scouting efforts. We saw a ton of antelope, about 3 deer and 3-4 cottontail bunnies. This is the ONLY decent shot.

Thank you Bryce and Donnell for watching the kids for us. It is always nice to have a night away once in a while.
